A Dark Hole

About this episode

The episode discusses Sebastian Korda's recent successes, Iga Swiatek's struggles, and various controversies in tennis.

Sebastian Korda is making like Gloria Estefan and coming out of the dark: in a career interrupted by injuries, Seb follows up his Delray Beach title by sending #1 Carlos Alcaraz out of Miami. Iga Swiatek’s frustration continues as her countrywoman Magda Linette packs her up; shortly after, Iga does the same to coach Wim Fissette. On the docket we’ve also got the Matosevic doping story, Danielle and Corentin (we’re way too old for this), a painful and hopefully temporary Body Serve ban, and an ASMR taste test of Vegemite - sure, a few months late in tennis terms, but whatever, we didn’t have Vegemite then. 2:00 Carlos out of Sunshine swing 5:40 Iga loses her incredible streak of 73 straight opening-round wins 9:40 Let them eat bagels: Arthur Fils is back! 14:30 Sorry, Leylah 18:45 Danielle et Corentin, you’re both doing A LOT right now 23:05 Marinko Matosevic’s brazen doping scandal 31:40 ATP schedule changes, in concert with the Saudi sports fund 35:15 Betting is a scourge and the players suffer 42:15 Our first (and last) ASMR segment
